SANTA! SANTA! I NEED A GIFT

He sits by the rock

Looking at the passing cars

At the happy families

Travelling to the lake for the festivals

He envies those that stop by the market

Buying the whole goat

And chickens

For Christmas

He hears the town kids' glee

About a man named Santa

Who gives them gifts

For being good children

He wonders to himself,

Haven't I been a good child?

I have swept the compound daily

And helped in the farms

He thinks Praying to find the answers to his questions

Hoping to find any logic

Just wishing for a voice

Then humbly,

He looks up to the sky and says "Santa! Santa! I need a gift"

"Make my parents well forever" "Santa! I have been a good child"
